Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1?

i might have to have open bite jaw surgery. Has any one ever had the surgery? what is it like? does it hurt? does your face look differnet after surgry? any info. would help thank you !

I had a friend who had Class III Anterior open bite. So basically his smile looked like a Lhasa Apso. He had orthognathic surgery done, which is to say, he had braces on to get his teeth into some kind of alignment. When the teeth were aligned then he had surgery on his jaws. He had a LeFort osteotomy on the top jaw, which is to say his top jaw was moved forward and rotated down a little. And he had a Mandibular setback on the bottom jaw, which means his bottom jaw was moved back. In the end, he had a little bit of swelling and a little bruising, but very little pain. And he ended up with a perfect bite, and straight teeth that could not bite a sandwich and tear through a piece of lettuce.
